 | | Jews (Hebrew: ×ְהוּדִ××, Yehudim; Yiddish: ××ִד×, Yidn) are followers of Judaism or, more generally, members of the Jewish people (also known as the Jewish nation, or the Children of Israel), an ethno-religious group descended from the ancient Israelites and from converts who joined their religion. |
 | | In medieval Europe, many persecutions of Jews in the name of Christianity occurred, notably during the Crusadesâ”when Jews all over Germany were massacredâ”and a series of expulsions from England, Germany, France, and, in the largest expulsion of all, Spain. |
 | | Jews have made contributions in a broad range of human endeavors, including the sciences, arts, politics, business, etc. The Jewish people have the largest concentration of Nobel prize winners (approximately 160 in all) of any ethnic or religious group. |
